Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Thanks FMX and Brad. I was a little unsure when he told me the color choice, but now that I see it I think he picked a good one. You are correct Brad, they used it for several years if I'm not mistaken, and on several different models.

Today I stopped by my buddys body shop and made an appointment to drop the body off Monday AM. He says about 2 weeks to do it, and during that time we can be getting the frame and running gear painted and done.

All I have left to do on the body is glass the underside of the floor to the body, and cut the holes for the gauges. I am going to let Dan do the hole cutting as his eyesight is better than mine, and Don probably wants his gauges to be in a straight line. As soon as the floor is cured tomorrow I'll flip it back over and finish smoothing the interior wood, and maybe paint on a coat of bed liner. I know the body shop will get lots of blue overspray on the undercoat, but I want to put on several coats anyway to minimize shadowing, so that won't be any problem.
